john mccain is a different story. he has a primary at the end of the month and a tough reelection race against a democrat and already, anderson, his democratic opponent assuming he wins this primary is out saying, remember, john mccain has said that he would support the nominee 49 times or whatever it is. so the democrats are trying very hard to tie john mccain and kelly aillot who is also in a tough campaign in new hampshire to donald trump. it's a tougher position for somebody like mccain. >> this is part of what donald trump does, right? during the primary, so much of his strategy was about sort of swagger and cowing his republican rivals, sort of into submission. he's almost sort of daring mccain and ryan almost to take president obama's side on this and somehow sort of move off of them. the question, though, for the republicans is what happens to all of these kind of down-ballot candidates who have looked to ryan as the guy to give them signals about donald trump when even that relationship seems to be fraying. >
